He's also missing nose and forehead same on some of building. I thought it was one that had been stuck in a washer or dryer but it's not it cause the rim is taller than the actual striking. It also weighs little more thought that was odd too. Is it possibly worth something. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95649 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 10:10 pm looks like it is a Dryer Coin as mentioned. Strange that the rim isn't more banged up more though.
